> This isn't a political question it's personal as everyday someone is saying we're going into another depression like the late 20's when people jumped off roofs. Isn't there a way to survive without that. And if anxious or depressed the mind processes it differently at least mine does . I look around and imagine no doctors, no hospitals and even if there are no money to go. What about food and electricity. I am very scared big time. Phillipa
It's not that there is not *enough* of anything either. It's like in the Great Depression, certain very rich, wealthy fat-cats lived very, very well. They hogged all the money in their swiss bank accounts! That is what is happening now. Something like the top 5 percent of the worlds richest people own over 75 percent of the wealth! Sick...ughhh!!!!! It should be mandatory for people to take economics and political economy courses so people can get educated about this.
Yet people elect the same idiots in office, thinking all is just happy, happy. War, disease, famine...it's bad, horrid, and getting worse. It'll be interesting to see what happens in September. The INSANITY has GOT to stop.Here are the words to a GREAT fitting song:
"Rockin' In The Free World"
There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan,
but I am to them
So I try to forget it,
any way I can.Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she's done to it
There's one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores
and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes
for the ozone layer
Got a BLACK MAN of the people,
says keep hope alive
Got little fuel to burn,
got roads to drive.
Got a white man who says
We'll fight for a hundred years
He won't have to pay the price
Millions of Mother's will pay in tearsKeep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.(This is from a recent concert veraion with Neil Young and U2 doing this song)
